Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
-
When you hear the kernels start to pop, gently shake the pot back and forth over the heat. Continue shaking until the popping slows down, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Once the popping has mostly stopped, remove the pot from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Be careful as the pot and lid will be very hot.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped jalapeno peppers, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jalapenos have softened slightly.
-
Pour the jalapeno butter mixture over the popcorn and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt to taste and toss again to combine.
-
Enjoy your Jalapeno Popcorn while it's still warm for the best flavor and crunch.
